Hitting the charts only once isn't just unfortunate...it's a crime. Over the decades, tons of musical artists and groups have had a hit song that has lived on long after the tune topped the charts and is often looked upon fondly for decades to come. For some musicians, this may be the only the song they're ever known for and they fade into obscurity soon thereafter. These are affectionately known as "one-hit wonders," and are much celebrated by fans and music publications, particularly on September 25th each year on One-Hit Wonder Day. 12 of today's best short story authors have taken their favorite one-hit wonders and reimagined them as the influence for some pretty heinous crimes. (I Just) Died in Your Arms features a decades-spanning collection of immediately recognizable hit songs turned into stories from the amazing talents of Vinnie Hansen, Jeanne DuBois, Josh Pachter, J.M. Taylor, Christine Verstraete, Sandra Murphy, Joseph S. Walker, Wendy Harrison, Bev Vincent, Leone Ciporin, Adam Gorgoni and Barb Goffman.

In the summer of 1988, on their last day of eleventh grade, childhood friends Kyle, Brandon, and Vanessa make a pact. As a tribute to their friendship, they each place their most valued possession inside a yellow Tupperware bowl, seal it, and bury it beneath the tallest pine tree at Blueberry Pond, their neighborhood hangout. The friendship pact is secret, and they vow to never dig the Tupperware bowl up again, no matter what. Twenty years later, the friends have gone their separate ways, and each one is enduring a difficult life struggle. Kyle is battling alcoholism, Brandon is in the midst of losing his business and his home, and Vanessa is going through a messy divorce that has left her family in turmoil. It is during this time of struggle that each one realizes they desperately need the one item they left behind in the Tupperware bowl, years ago at Blueberry Pond. That one item, they each believe, will pull them through. But in the quest to recover their lost items, the friends find something more valuable: a friendship among them that has stood the test of time, a romance between Kyle and Vanessa that never truly died, and the memories of a carefree youth they’d long ago forgotten.
